Throughout his junior days, his time as a star for the University of Alabama, and his professional career, Justin Thomas wore classic-styled footwear like FootJoy’s Premiere Series, Classic Series, and Icon line. The two-time major winner had a modern game and demanded a high level of stability and traction, but his golf shoes often featured throwback styling.
But if you have seen JT play this season, you might have noticed that he’s wearing golf shoes that are much more sporty and relaxed looking: FootJoy’s updated HyperFlex.
Arriving in stores now, the FootJoy HyperFlex shoes ($180) are available in sizes 7 through 15 for men and 6 through 11 for women. The outsole features a combination of replaceable spikes and traction-enhancing lugs that help keep a golfer’s feet stable throughout the swing, even on wet or muddy turf.
To enhance stability and help golfers maintain a solid base, FootJoy designed the HyperFlex with TruFit, a series of flexible pieces that extend up from the midsole and are secured by the lacing system. After putting your foot into the shoes, TruFit wraps around your foot and helps to increase lateral support, keeping your foot bonded to the shoe more effectively.
For golfers who want even more stability, FootJoy has a version of the HyperFlex coming in April called HyperFlex Carbon that features a carbon fiber plate in the sole that makes the bottom of the shoe more rigid when you swing.

To make walking 18 holes more comfortable, the HyperFlex has a midsole designed using StratoFoam, a lightweight material that provides cushioning. A plate designed in the midfoot also helps to return energy to your feet and propel you forward as you walk, making covering the course easier too.
The upper of the HyperFlex is made using FootJoy’s ControlKNIT, a waterproof, spiral-wound material that is durable, breathable and easy to clean, yet repels water so effectively that the HyperFlex has a two-year waterproof warranty.
